Mapping Memorial Books: Tracing the Commemorative Legacy of Yiddish Yizkor Books

绘制纪念书籍（MMB）将重点关注大屠杀后幸存者创作的战后犹太纪念作品的循环。从20世纪40年代开始，出现了1000多本纪念书籍，描绘了欧洲失去的社区。其中许多是意第绪语，这是一种基本上不为公众所知的语言。通过交叉引用格拉斯哥犹太社区的档案记录和Yizkor书籍的语料，该项目将把格拉斯哥的犹太移民映射回其祖先的城镇。该项目首次使用这些档案，将为战前犹太人的生活和大屠杀记忆的研究增加深度和细微差别

Mapping Memorial Books (MMB) will focus on the post-war cycle of Jewish commemorative writing created by survivors in the aftermath of the Holocaust. From the 1940s onwards, over 1,000 memorial books appeared, depicting lost communities in Europe. Many were in Yiddish, a language largely inaccessible to the public. By cross-referencing archival records of the Glaswegian Jewish community with the corpus of Yizkor books, this project will map Jewish immigration in Glasgow back to its ancestral towns. Employing this archive for the first time, the project will add depth and nuance to the study of pre-war Jewish life and Holocaust memory
